Best of and nearly impossible to describe in words how terrific their performances were: Fleet Foxes, Coldplay, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jason Mraz, 2 Many Djs, Regina Spektor, Elbow Strong performances: Oasis, Bloc Party, Amy Macdonald, Kings Of Leon, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Kaiser Chiefs, Seasick Steve who turned out to be incredibly good and Metallica of which i must confess i'm not such a big fan but however enjoyed it up ot one point.Can't make up my mind about them: Tiga who initially gave me the impression that i went to a Radio 21 Kiss FM whatever house music party but who succesfully flattered me later with Beep-Beep-Beep, Mind Dimension, You Gonna Want Me and Overtime, Placebo cause they absolutely ruined "Special Needs" my official all time favourite song from them but they performed very well on other songs like Every you Every Me, Song To Say Goodbye, Taste in Men or Black-Eyed and Franz Ferdinandwho quitted unexpectedly their gig in the middle of Katherine Kiss Me just cause their performance time was over.

Missed out with a bit of regret: Grace Jones, Emiliana Torrini, The Streets, Lily Allen (partially missed), Eagles of Death Metal, M. Ward and Mogwai

Trash Can: White Lies(because Harry McVeigh, the vocalist can't imitate the voice of Ian Curtis for more than 60 sec without shouting and screaming as if all of us went to heavy metal band gig ),The Killers(for their visible boredom and lack of energy in songs),Royksopp(don't get me wrong, i honestly love their work and albums but the voice of Anneli Drecker the singer they brought with them has nothing in common with the one of Karin Dreijer Andersson and when heard live, that sounds extremely disappointing)

"It's as if Stanley Kubrick and Patti Smith had a baby, but it was home-schooled at Pharrell's mansion by Aphex Twin, Andre 3000 and Bjork, all while spending weekends with godfather and godmother Robert Wyatt and Wendy Carlos, who put it in a crib, put on a Charles Ives record, and let it all sink in."
